Our Take

"Van Der Graaf Generator's latest album, 'Do Not Disturb,' is a paradox wrapped in an enigma, smothered in prog rock goodness. Frontman Peter Hammill's vocals are like a fine wine - bold, complex, and leave you wanting more (just like my exes). The instrumentation on this record is tight, with swirling guitars and haunting keyboards creating a soundscape that is both unsettling and strangely beautiful.

Tracks like 'Aloft' and 'Alfa Berlina' showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend melody with chaos, resulting in a sonic experience that is both challenging and rewarding. However, it's not all doom and gloom on this album - 'Room 1210' is a surprisingly upbeat track, with a catchy chorus that will have you tapping your foot in no time.

Overall, 'Do Not Disturb' is a thought-provoking journey through the mind of a band that has been pushing boundaries for over four decades. Van Der Graaf Generator may not be a household name, but after listening to this album, you'll be left wondering why they aren't. So grab a cup of tea, put on your headphones, and let the music wash over you like a warm bath on a chilly British evening. Just make sure to put up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign, because once you start listening, you won't want to be interrupted."
